Your presentation will consist of approximately 7–10 slides and will feature a narrated audio presentation of at least 5 minutes. For purposes of this assignment, PowerPoint is the recommended software. If you wish to use something else, please consult with your instructor first.
Here is a suggested structure for your presentation.
- Title slide: Include the title of your presentation, your name, name of the class, and date of submission.
- Introduction: Explain what your topic is, why you chose it, and why people should care about it.
- Summaries: Summarize the main points of each article on a separate slide.
- Ethical Stand: Take a stand on the issue and explain the ethical principles that support your stand.
- Conclusion: Conclude with a call to action and let your supporters know what they can do next.
- References: Provide the APA-style references to all sources used in the presentation.
If you use one slide for each part, the total length will be seven slides. If you find that any slide is too densely packed, consider splitting that section into two slides. At the same time, remember that slides are a visual medium and should not be overly text laden. Because you will be providing an audio narration, there is no need to use long blocks of text. Instead, use visual elements such as illustrations and charts, and limit text to short bullet phrases.
